Do you find it difficult to be rushed to do something

Kenny_1622

I find it really challenging to be rushed to do a job, it elevates my anxiety causes me to panic and gets me very confused and emotionally distressed. I have to spend time thinking the job  through at different periods before continuing. Anyone have problems with this ?

  • Hi Kenny,

    I get this a lot with my Mum to be honest. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Mum to pieces - and my Dad too. But there are days when she’ll tell me (or both of us) to do things, despite already telling us to do 3 jobs a few minutes beforehand.

    Most of the time, from my point of view, I try and just get on with what she’s already asked me to do - but if I am really not feeling up to it or she starts adding more to the ‘list’ (so to speak) - I do tell her that I am just going to concentrate on getting the first job done first and then I will go onto the next job, knowing that if I can just do that one job at a time, then I know I can get it done to ‘Mum’s’ standard lol. 

    Dad on the other hand, isn’t as good as telling my Mum straight that he’s got enough to get on with and piling more jobs on to him is stressing him out. He’s better at it now, as I have normally told Mum to stop giving more jobs when he’s got enough on.

    I am grateful with my work though as they are really understanding with my Autism etc. (rare in a job these days I know). To be honest, my workplace is more of a solace to me (especially if I am stressed out at home) and coming into work helps.

    Anyway, to cut it short - just concentrate on one job at a time and that will help.
